Cervical Screening at CPL

Clinical Pathology Laboratories is one
of two US - and two Irish - laboratories that have provided Pap
smear testing for the Irish cervical screening program since 2008,
and CPL served the program from 2010 to 2013.

Since 2008, more than 3 million
screening tests were performed by the four laboratories contracted
by the Irish Health Services Executive (HSE). This testing was
performed to the highest quality standards in order to assure the
best possible outcomes for the women participating, and the HSE
screening program has identified and treated cervical cancer and
its precursors in more than 50,000 women.

The results of cervical cancer screens
conducted by our lab and the three other labs are well above the
accepted accuracy rate for the type of screening conducted and have
been continuously monitored and repeatedly endorsed by Irish health
authorities as well as US laboratory accrediting agencies.

CPL has a greater than 70-year history
of providing high quality medical testing including cervical cancer
screening. Our service is directed by physician pathologists; we
adhere to the highest clinical standards, and we are regularly
reviewed by the appropriate U.S. governmental and private
accrediting agencies. The standard of Pap test screening in the US,
including that provided by CPL, is among the best in the world and
utilizes a combination of technologies including computer-assisted
image analysis and concurrent or reflex HPV testing in accordance
with US national guidelines.

Mark Silberman, M.D., Laboratory
Director of Clinical Pathology Laboratories states, "At CPL we
strongly believe in screening as an invaluable service to identify
those at increased risk for cervical cancer and other life-altering
diseases. We take particular pride in the quality of our services
in women's health."

Clinical Pathology Laboratories to Partner with WELL CARE

The WELL CARE center will include a CPL dedicated phlebotomist to
help serve as the testing site for patients with a focused on
specialized patient care.

"We're proud to be partnering with a
company like WELL CARE," said CPL Regional Manager John Evans. "We
hope to set the standard for community responsibility in

DALLAS, Texas (September 09, 2015) -
Premier Patient Network (PPN) and Clinical Pathology Laboratories
(CPL) today announced an innovative partnership leveraging
technology to deliver better patient care. CPL and PPN are
expanding the role of laboratory medicine within the care team by
bridging the data gap to bring actionable, real-time information to
providers for improved patient care and outcomes.

In the push for meaningful use and
widespread adoption of electronic health records (EHR), healthcare
is clogged with countless
independent systems incapable of communicating or sharing data in
purposeful ways. PPN, a Dallas-based accountable
care organization and group of more than 880 physicians, and
Austin-based CPL, the largest U.S. laboratory in the Sonic
Healthcare federation, have created a solution: melding proprietary
technologies from each organization to give physicians
a critical edge to facilitate healthier patient outcomes.

Through the power of predictive
diagnostics and innovative patient engagement technologies, the
program merges the best of PPN's 360 dashboard, a powerful
population health management tool, and CPL's iMorpheus®,
a real-time healthcare informatics tool providing clinical insights
through its proprietary pattern recognition capabilities.

"Clinical data drives diagnosis,
disease monitoring, treatment selection and chronic disease risk
evaluation, but only if we can access it in a timely manner," said
Anwar Kazi, CEO of Sybrid, the managing partner of PPN's
accountable care organization programs.

The new population health informatics
program provides physicians a powerful tool to identify
under-diagnosed and under-managed conditions in their patients, and
better address them in a timely manner. This level of coordinated
care management creates better health for patients while
controlling overall costs. It is a key benefit for managing chronic
illnesses like diabetes, which often require many lab tests to
manage the disease.

"This joint technology integration
empowers physicians to focus more on using the right data at the
right time in delivering the highest quality of care across all
patient touch points," said Steve Shumpert, president of CPL. "Our
goals and business philosophy of empowering the independent primary
care physician mirror those of Premier. We've been serving
physicians and patients in Texas since 1948."

The program will deliver a real-time
tool that helps physicians leverage laboratory insights and other
medical data to:

Identify gaps in care and prioritize
patients who need care the most

Aid in patient diagnosis, assess
risk, and monitor patient progress

Improve Medicare quality
reporting

More easily generate shared savings
under the Medicare Shared Savings Program

Better engage patients in their own
wellness, creating better health and quality of life

Physicians will save time and have a
more cohesive view of a patient's case through a single interface
rather than having to juggle multiple downloads and manual charts.
Additionally, the new program allows physicians to process data in
a way that simplifies paperwork needed for the Medicare Advantage
and Medicare Shared Savings Programs. PPN created $11.9 million in
shared savings in 2014. As this new integrated technology is
utilized, even more savings are expected.

The partnership between PPN and CPL
underscores the goals of accountable care organizations. The nation
is moving away from a cottage industry health system to more
cooperation with physicians and ancillary providers. Fragmented
care has given way to continuum care, with a coordinator
incentivized to drive efficiencies in a patient's care management
journey.
